The Works of Christopher Marlowe

The Jew of Malta


Act: 1 Scene: 2
Alas, my Lord, the most of us are poore!
Oh my Lord we will give halfe.
Oh yet be patient, gentle Barabas.
Why, Barabas, as hardly can we brooke
The quell handling of our selves in this:
Thou seest they have taken halfe our goods.
Yet brother Barabas remember Job.
Come, let us leave him in his irefull mood,
Our words will but increase his extasie.
